SIMEON DIMMICK W. 4942 BA-J/MLB an
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter of recent date, in which you request the record of a soldier whose widow, Priscilla Dimock or Dimmock, of Claridon Township, Geauga County, Ohio, received a pension, also, the record of Aaron Hoaglan, of Vermillion Township, Richland County, Ohio, who, you state, also received a pension.
The pension records of both the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 have been searched and no claim for pension found based upon service in either war of a soldier named Aaron Hoaglan, under any spelling. Such claims for pension are the source of data furnished by this office in regard to soldiers of the Revolution and War of 1812. The record has been found of Simeon Dimmick whose widow, Priscilla, received pension on account of his service in the Revolutionary War. That record follows as found in claim for pension, W. 4942, based upon his service in the Revolution. The pension which you state Aaron Hoaglan received may have been granted by the state from which he served.
The date and place of birth and names of the parents of Simeon Dimmick are not given.
While residing in Stafford, Tolland County, Connecticut, Simeon Dimmick enlisted in June, 1776, for the term of seven months, served as private in Captain Abiel Pease's company, Colonel Erastus Wolcott's Connecticut regiment, stationed at Fort Trumbull where he worked on the fort, also did garrison duty, and was discharged after having served the term for which he enlisted, then returned to his home in Stafford. He enlisted again in 1779 and served two months, names of officers and other details not given.
The soldier died January 21, 1830, in Stafford, Connecticut.

Simeon Dimmick married Priscilla Ellis December 30, 1784, in Stafford, Connecticut, where their marriage was recorded in the Town Clerk's Office.
Soldier's widow, Priscilla Dimmick, was allowed pension on her application executed April 22, 1839, at which time she was aged seventy-six years and a resident of Claridon, Geauga County, Ohio.
No names in the claim were designated as those of children.
In 1838, one Ephraim Dimmick, Jr., was Justice of the Peace for Tolland County, Connecticut.
In 1839, one Daniel Dimmick, aged forty-five years, made affidavit in Geauga County, Ohio, that he since two years of age had lived with the soldier, Simeon Dimmick, and his wife, Priscilla, in Stafford, Connecticut, but he did not state his relationship to them.
In order to obtain date of last payment of pension, the name of person paid and possibly the date of death of soldier's widow, Priscilla, you should write to the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, this city, and cite the following data: Priscilla Dimmick, widow of Simeon Dimmick, Certificate #3875, issued August 13, 1839, rate $23.33 per annum, commenced March 4, 1836, Act July 7, 1838, Ohio (Pittsburgh) Agency.
